TOILET ARTICLE.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Sept. 16, 1919.

Application filed November 19, 1918. Serial No. 263,236

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LnoroLo HAUsnR, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the borough of Manhattan, in the city of New York, county andState of NewYork, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Toilet Articles, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates a to novel means whereby articles, such as mirrors, picture frames and the like may be securely held in a holder or case by a member which, when the article is removed from its holder, serves as a hanger by which the article may be suspended from a hook or other suitable supporting means.

In the accompanying drawings wherein I have illustrated an embodiment of my invention, I have shown the same applied to a small mirror. A hanger and easel are mounted on the mirror, the hanger, when the mirror is not in use serving as a means for securing the same to a holder or case, both hanger and easel are permanently secured to the mirror, and the mirror may be supported by either of them at the will of the user.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is an elevational view showing a mirror with my invention applied thereto held in its holder or case thereby.

Fig. 2 is an elevational view of the device shown in Fig. 1 and taken at right angles thereto.

Fig. 3 shows the mirror removed from its holder and supported by an easel.

Fig. 4 illustrates a modification of the device of Fig. 1, with the mirror held in place in a case thereby.

Fig. 5 shows the mirror partly removed from its case, and

Fig. 6 is a section taken through the upper part of the case, mirror and hanger of Fig. 4.

Referring first of all to Figs. 1, 2 and 3, 1 designates a supporting member for a mirror 2. This supporting member, which may be considered as representing the side wall of a traveling bag for instance, has secured to it a strap 3 under which the mirror is placed when not in use. Secured to the back of the mirror by a member 4, riveted or otherwise permanently secured thereto, is

an easel 5 preferably of substantially rigid material. The member 4 also supports a metal hanger 6, shaped to conform with the top of the mirror and to extend vertically aXis 9, sothat the easel may be moved upwardly to the position shown in Fig. 3 and the hanger being swung downwardly to the position shown in the same figure. In this connection, attention is directed to the conformation of the upper end of the hanger 6, from which it will be seen that when the hanger is disconnected from the button 8 and swung about its axis 9, the mirror may be readily pulled from beneath the strap 3.

From the foregoing, it will be apparent that when the mirror is removed from the support 1, it may either be supported in p0sition on a table or the like by the easel 5, or it may be suspended by the hanger 6 from the hook or other supporting member. in an obvious manner.

In the modification illustrated in Figs. 4, 5 and 6, I have shown a mirror 10 placed in a case or pocket 11. The mirror in this instance, as before, carries an easel 12 and a hanger 13, the hanger however in this instance being of flexible material, such as leather for instance. end of the hanger is a split ring 14, Which when the mirror is in place in the case 11, as shown in Fig. 4, may be forced, by bending the hanger over the top of the case 11, over a button 15 carried by the case, the split ring and button cooperating in the manner of the ordinary glove fastener. Thus as in the form described in connection with Figs. 1, 2 and 3, the mirror may not be removed from its case until the hanger is disengaged therefrom by separating the split ring 14 and button 15.

It will be obvious, in connection with the modification just described, that when it is desired to use the mirror, it may either be suspended from a hook or the like by the hanger 13, or be set u )011 a table and supported in position by t e easel 12.

While I have shown my invention applied to a mirror, it is to be understood that it may be applied as well to picture frames, calendars, cards and the like, and I desire beneath the strap 3. Both the. easel and hanger have movement about an Secured to the upper.

therefore not to be limited to the particular application of my invention herein illustrated and described. Inasmuch as others skilled in this art may make changes in details of construction herein illustrated and described without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention, I do not desire to be limited thereto except by the appended claims.

What I claim as new and desire .to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is 1. In combination, a mirror, a non-flexible hanger therefor, an easel provided with an opening to receive said hanger, said easel and hanger being pivoted on a common pivot and movable relative to each other, the hanger when the easel is in operative position, being movable through said opening in the easel to a position between the easel and mirror.

2. In combination a mirror, a non-flexible hanger therefor, a looped member forming an easel for said mirror, said hanger and easel being permanently secured to said mirror adjacent one edge thereof and mounted on a common pivot to move relatively to each other, the hanger when the easel is in operative position being movable between opposite legs of the easel to a position between the easel and the mirror.

This specification signed and witnessed this 15th day of November, A. D. 1918.
